Post pics of the carbs you have. 54mm Pods will fit all xs400 carbs. Make sure to get uni filters or real k&n and avoid emgo's and even the mikesxs k&n knock offs. A filter that can be oiled is waaay better than one that is not.

Here is a rant on cheap emgo filter pods I posted over on the XS500 site. Thought I would share this as it certainly applies to our 360's/ 400s

ok thank you glad I posted a picture before I ordered, I will order diaphragms and filter for the 77-79 carbs, the lady I bought the bike off did say they replaced the motor for the kickstart so that would explain different year carbs, thanks!
I wish emgo would either improve their crappy pod filters or remove them from the market.They look pretty but like you said unfuntionable as a good filter.
Most pods are no more than a screen. If you can see light through the materiel it will not stop dust a dirt. Either a oiled uni or an actual oil-able cotton filter traps dust and dirt. I think only K&N makes those type.
